#7  Mebbe Schroeder bestowed an Iron Cross 2nd Class on Alois Brunner while in Syria. Mebbe Gerhard, Bashir, and Alois had dinner together to discuss "The Good Old Days"...

#5  Honorary degrees usually cost a university building or a fully funded Chair. Granted, Herr Doktor (Hon.) Schroeder worked for Gazprom (I think) for a bit, but German pensions are not the kind of thing wealth grows from. Hmm...

#2  $4.00 and this honary degree will get you a coffee at Starbucks.

I wouldn't get too excited, this honorary degree isn't any honor.
